Leaked chart shows Ryzen 7 9850X3D edging out 9800X3D in a handful of games
A new benchmark chart attributed to hardware leaker Chi11eddog claims to show Ryzen 7 9850X3D gaming performance versus Ryzen 7 9800X3D. The screenshot lists an NVIDIA RTX 5090 and 1920×1080 testing, which usually reduces GPU limits and makes small CPU gaps easier to spot.
The chart suggests signle-digit gains in most titles. The biggest jump is in Counter-Strike 2, where 9850X3D is shown at 825.35 FPS versus 775.88 FPS for 9800X3D, a 6.38% increase. Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced is listed at 326.3 vs 315.17 FPS (+3.53%), and Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail at 334.96 vs 319.17 FPS (+4.95%)
Other results are close. Cyberpunk 2077 shows 282.01 vs 271.39 FPS (+3.91%), DOOM: The Dark Ages shows 174.99 vs 172.16 FPS (+1.64%), and Battlefield 6 is effectively tied at 298.62 vs 298.63 FPS (so basically no increase). On average we are looking at a 2.88% increase.

Chi11eddog did not name the source of the chart, and the screenshot does not list game settings, RAM, BIOS, OS build, or the full test platform. Past posts from the same leaker were from MSI internal slides and documents, so MSI could be the origin here, but the screenshot alone does not confirm that.
Worth reminding that independent reviews are to go live on January 28, ahead of retail availability on January 29. AMD has also confirmed the Ryzen 7 9850X3D at $499.
